Notes on cleaning doll bodies:

Our dolls consist primarily of soft PVC (head, arms, and legs), and contain a body that is either stuffed with polyester fibres or made of plastic. PVC and plastic surfaces:

Clean surface dirt with damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent

Stains that have been caused by felt and/or ballpoint pens will not be removable due to the constituents of the ink. It is possible to lighten the stain by using acetone-free nail polish remover, if necessary.

Fabric body with fibre stuffing

Clean mild dirt and stains with a damp cloth soaked in a mild detergent

Do not under any circumstances put it in the washing machine/dryer

After cleaning, let it dry thoroughly

Information on plasticizers in the plastic of the doll bodies and in other plastic parts

Zapf Creation AG only employs the innovative, phthalate-free plasticizer known as Hexamoll® DINCH. This plasticizer was specially developed for use in sensitive application areas (children's toys, medical products, products that come in contact with food). In using Hexamoll® DINCH, Zapf Creation AG fulfils the EU regulations (EC 2005/84) on the use of plasticizers in children's toys and goods. In addition to the current recommendation from the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), Hexamoll® DINCH has also received a positive assessment from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). There have also been numerous tests conducted at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging.
